Bad Snack Reviews

At a nearby eatery for lunch, I noticed something that caught my attention immediately and held it for many hours. It was a bag of American Fries, ketchup flavor. Not French fries, but American Fries.

This kind of bulls**t patriotism for the sake of commercialist consumption makes me ill, but it also draws me in with its disgustingly disrespectful tractor beam.

I bought it right away and while waiting for my normal lunch to be made, I tried a ketchup flavored American Fry despite my better judgment based mostly on the packaging that touted these snacks were "Krinkle Cut for Crispy Flavor."

Seemingly awesome Olympian Michael Phelps’ decision to endorse Kellogg's Frosted Flakes by appearing on the box is pissing off many health experts who are worried about the message he'll be sending to children across America.

"I would not consider Frosted Flakes the food of an Olympian," said nutritionist Rebbecca Solomon of Mount Sinai Medical Center. “I would rather see him promoting Fiber One. I would rather see him promoting oatmeal. I would even rather see him promoting Cheerios."

So why not Wheaties, the traditional (and less bad for ya) cereal endorsement choice for many athletes? Doesn’t he know Frosted Flakes has three times the amount of sugar as Wheaties and 1/3rd the fiber. That may not matter to a pro swimmer who burns 12,000 calories a day, but to us regular slobs, that’s a lot of sugar!
